This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I wonder if the abandonment occurred around the time that image uploads were disabled, old images wiped and instance was often down. That's about the time I realized it was basically impossible to moderate and contribute to a community I created on the instance. I now handle mod duties from another instance, one that is usually accessible and allows image uploads.
Image uploads are not disabled. There was an issue that was resolved. And if you look at the moderator for this community you see that they have been inactive for about 2 months, long before any of that.
I'm still unable to upload images, and images uploaded before the issue yield only error messages.
User login is broken, especially on a regular computer and I had to finagle with the site just to be able to login on mobile.
Ergo there are many reasons why the original mod is not here, and abandonment isn't necessarily one of them
